Jerez de la Frontera – Esteban Gutiérrez was behind the wheel of the Sauber C32-Ferrari for the
first time today. He immediately felt comfortable in the car and was able to complete a
comprehensive programme over 110 laps, which included aerodynamic measurements, tyre and brake
material testing and several long runs with high fuel loads, without any technical problems.

Tom McCullough, Head of Track Engineering: "Another good day and 110 laps completed without
any reliability problems, which is very encouraging. Esteban has a total of six testing days
before going to Melbourne, so we had a comprehensive programme from a driver and car point of
view, and we got a lot of that achieved today.

Esteban Gutiérrez: "It was a very positive day with 110 laps. I had the chance to get to know
the car and the tyres that are behaving quite differently. Because of this it was important to
understand the warm-up characteristics and the behaviour on long runs with high fuel loads. It was
very interesting to feel the progress - something that gets me up to speed. I’m positive about the
new car and I immediately felt comfortable in it.“

What comes next: Esteban Gutiérrez will be at the wheel of the Sauber C32 for the final day of
testing in Jerez de la Frontera tomorrow.
